We’d chatted about our lives while we’d waited, in between bouts of making out like a couple of horny teenagers. So, by the time Derrick arrived, my lips were swollen from Ash’s kisses, my pussy throbbing, and I was about ready to jump the guy’s bones and demand he take me right there on his desk.
So, thankful that Ash had wanted to talk to Derrick alone first, I gladly slipped out of his office as soon as he opened the door to let Derrick in. I took a few steadying breaths and tried to calm my overheated body. I needed to get a hold of myself before I talked to him.
A short time later, Ash emerged and told me to go in. He looked relaxed, and since there hadn’t been any shouting or crashing, and he wasn’t sporting any more bruises, I assumed it had gone well. I sighed in relief, not realising just how anxious I had been about that until now.
Derrick immediately stood up and hugged me.
“You okay, sweetie?” he asked.
“I’m fine,” I reassured him.
“Ash seems to like you a lot,” he stated.
I noticed it was Ash now and not Mr Rominov. That pleased me because I knew that if Derrick were unsure of Ash, he wouldn’t want to be on first-name terms with him.
“Yes,” I said, feeling a bit shy again.
“How do you feel about that?” he prompted.
“I really like him, too,” I said with a grin.
“Girl, it looks like you two have got it bad for each other!” he grinned back.
“So, have you gotten laid yet? Is he good? Bet he is!” he smirked and winked.
“No, I have not, Derrick Reid! And the rest is none of your business!” I exclaimed in shock, feeling the heat rising in my face.
“Liar! That blush tells a different story!” he chuckled, then sobered up, giving me a searching look.
“As long as you are happy with things and want to stay here, that is fine with me, Gracie, but if you have any doubts, I will take you back home with me right now. You don’t need to feel you must stay if you don’t want to, despite what Ash says.”
I smiled, “I know, but I do want to stay.”
“Alright, but if you change your mind or need me for anything, you know where I am,” he said, hugging me tightly.
I nodded, pleased to have such a great friend caring for me.
With nothing more to say, he told Ash to let him know if there was anything he could do to help before leaving.
As soon as he had gone, Ash pulled me to him for a kiss. It was threatening to turn into someone far more, and I was definitely up for that, but unfortunately, the phone rang, and Ash needed to answer it. After that, he had some work stuff to do but asked me to remain in the office and keep him company.
I was more than willing, so I quickly retrieved a book from my room, then returned to settle down to read while Ash checked his emails and did whatever else he had to do.
The book was good, and, normally, I would have been engrossed and in my own little world while reading it, but I couldn’t help glancing over to my Mr Sexy Voice and comparing him to the hero. And oh, my, did he compare!
Of course, every time I checked him out, Ash either caught me at it or was already doing the same to me. As the morning wore on, we spent a lot of time simply grinning at each other like a couple of fools.
After lunch, Ash finished up some important paperwork and then, unfortunately, had to leave for a meeting with someone to get more information about the ongoing threat. He reluctantly kissed me goodbye and headed off with Romi, leaving me in his office reading. I was glad to see he had learned his lesson and wasn’t going to this meeting alone.
With him gone, I daydreamed about him for a while. Everything was so new between us and very exciting. Eventually, for my own sanity, I decided to push all thoughts of the man aside and try to read again. Otherwise, I would need to head to my room and take care of my needs because just the thought of the sexy Russian had me feeling rampant.
A short while later, Miki entered the office.”
“Hey, Gracie”, he greeted me.”
“Hey,” I said back, feeling a little awkward around the big boss guy. Even though I had accepted that Ash was part of the Russian Mafia, it still felt strange, and I wasn’t yet used to the fact. I also wasn’t yet quite sure how to behave around them, but more so their pakhan, Miki.
I studied him. I don’t know what I would ever have expected the pakhan of the UK Bratva to look like, but it wasn’t him. He was a very good-looking man, slightly taller than Ash and a bit bulkier. You couldn’t fail to see the family resemblance between the two. In fact, all the brothers looked very alike, with just slight differences in skin tone and build. Although Ash and Marko were usually clean-shaven, Miki sported a well-groomed beard.
